The field of technology

The present invention relates to a portable device for authenticating a protected product and to a method of authenticating a protected product deployed on site. More specifically, the present invention relates to the availability of a location to perform any of the determination of whether the product is genuine, the determination of whether the user of the protected product is authorized, and/or the identification of such user.

Technical level

Currently, fixed equipment is installed at specific border crossing points, transportation hubs (such as airports), customs offices, and other specific locations to authenticate protected products, such as identification documents and documents that grant access to a specific area, such as geographic area, and to identify the user of such protected products in order to assess whether the user is an authorized user of the product and to assess whether the user is authorized to access a particular area. However, such stationary equipment is not available for mobile deployment in a location where it is also desirable to confirm the authenticity of the protected product, the identity, whether the person is an authorized user of the protected product, and/or whether the person is allowed access to a specific area.

Typically, protected products are protected by several layers of different protective elements or features, which are selected from different technological areas, produced by different suppliers and implemented in different components of the protected product. To infringe a protected product, an infringer would need to obtain all the intended materials, as well as gain access to all the necessary processing technologies, which is a difficult task to accomplish. Security features, for example, for protected products, can generally be classified into "hidden" security features and "non-hidden" security features. The protection afforded by "covert" security features is based on the concept that such features require special equipment and knowledge to detect, while "non-covert" security features are based on the concept that relies on detection by the naked eye.

Additionally or alternatively, such blocks of code may form part of a computer software product containing computer-executable instructions implemented in a signal-carrying medium, which may be, for example, a recordable machine-readable storage medium or a storage medium. , which transmits the signal. The processing circuit instructed by such blocks of code may be referred to as the processor of the device 10.

As described in this document above, the elements and means contained in the device 10 are generally in standby mode when the portable housing 12 is in its closed position. The description of the operation of the device 10 presented herein below is based on a scenario in which there is one person who is the registered operator of the device 10, the portable housing 12 is initially in its closed position, and the device 10 is initially in standby mode. Other options may be apparent to one skilled in the art, and the description presented herein is not intended to limit the capabilities of device 10.

When power is applied to the processor of the device 10, the processor begins executing instructions at block 116. At block 116, when the portable housing 12 is in its closed position and the device 10 is in standby mode, the processor detects an opening

From the portable case 12 whenever it can happen.

When in block 116 the processor detects the opening of the portable case 12, after that, in block 118 the processor verifies the proximity of the registered operator to the device 10.

Referring to fig. 11, 120 generally shows an illustrative method of controlling the processor to perform the steps of block 118 (Fig. 10). The method 120 begins execution at block 122, in which the processor measures the proximity of the registered operator using the proximity sensor 78. In block 124, the processor determines whether the proximity sensor 78 indicates that the registered operator is in the vicinity of the device 10. Typically, the processor receives an indication from the proximity sensor 78 as to whether the registered operator's corresponding transceiver is in the vicinity of the proximity transceiver in the device 10. In some embodiments the implementation determines the first location of the device 10, determines the second location of the registered operator, calculates the distance between the first and second locations, and compares the calculated distance with the pre-stored proximity limit value. In some embodiments, the processor is configured to determine that the registered operator is not in the vicinity of the device 10 after a sufficient amount of time during which no indication has been received from the proximity sensor 78 .

If in block 124 the processor determines that the registered operator is not in the vicinity of the device 10, then in block 126 the processor initiates a telephone call to the telephone of the registered operator, such as a mobile phone. The registered operator's phone can be any suitable type of phone, including satellite phone, cellular phone, two-way phone, MoIR phone, etc. At least in the first and second embodiments, the processor initiates a telephone call by transmitting to the remote server an indication that the proximity of the registered operator has not been verified. On a remote server, either an automated system or a human caller can make a phone call to a registered operator's phone using a pre-stored phone number associated with the registered operator's registration. The telephone system used for the automatic telephone dialing feature may be, for example, a standard voice message network. In the case of an automatic telephone call, for example, an automatic dialer or an interactive voice response unit (IVR) can be used. In the case of IMV, IMV can prompt the individual to answer the phone call by entering a code using the telephone keys for the registered operator's ID card. In the case of a human caller, he may interact via voice communication during an active call for the ID receiving the telephone call. In any case, if the registered operator answers the call and properly authenticates his/her identity, the registered operator is asked to approach the device 10 and turn on its appropriate proximity transceiver and/or location identifier, if not already done. If the phone call is made remotely, then the remote server usually transmits the result of the phone call to the processor of the device 10.

Although unit 126 is described hereinabove in relation to a telephone call to a telephone, any suitable personal communication functionality including any related technology and/or communication medium may be used. As a non-limiting example, a text message exchange (eg, 5M5) may be used instead of a voice call.

After block 126 has been completed, in block 128 the processor of the device 10 determines whether the registered operator has been verified by phone call.

If the processor determines in block 128 that the registered operator's identity has been verified by phone call, then the processor returns to block 122 to re-measure the proximity of the registered operator using the proximity sensor 78 in a manner described earlier in this document.

If in block 128 the processor determines that the registered operator's identity has not been verified by phone call, then in block 130 the processor denies access to elements and/or means in the device 10, such as means for authentication. In variants, the denial of access to elements and/or facilities in the device 10 may include any one or more of the following: the transition of the processor of the device 10 to a standby mode; transition of one or more means of authentication to standby mode; transfer of all data currently stored in the device 10 to a remote server; deleting all data currently stored in the device 10; and self-removal of hardware and/or software component(s), such as electronic media, for example by

From excessively high voltage, electromagnetic radiation such as UV radiation, other appropriate self-dissolving technologies, or any combination thereof.

Although for ease of illustration, method 120 is shown as a continuous (ie, endless) loop in which the processor determines in block 124 that the registered operator is not in the vicinity of device 10 and determines in block 128 that the registered operator's identity has been verified, typically, the processor will proceed to block 130 after determining that the registered operator is not close enough within a specified limited number of attempts.

In some embodiments, blocks 126 and 128 are omitted and the method proceeds directly to block 130 if the processor determines in block 124 that the registered operator is not in the vicinity of the device 10 .

After block 130 has been executed, the processor completes method 114 (Fig. 10). Completing the method 114 may include, for example, placing the device 10 or selected elements and/or means in the device 10 into standby mode.

If in block 124 the processor determines that the registered operator is near the device 10, then block 132 is executed. Typically, in block 132 the processor stores in memory an indication, such as a registration token, that the proximity has been verified. Thereafter, the process returns to method 114 after block 118 of FIG. 10.

Referring again to FIG. 10, in block 134, the processor verifies the image of the registered operator of the device 10.

Referring to fig. 12, 136 generally shows an illustrative method of controlling the processor to perform the steps of block 134 (Fig. 10). Execution of the method 136 begins at block 138, in which the processor activates a device camera, such as one or more of the cameras 24-34 of the imaging set 20, to capture an image of the workplace. Typically, the workstation includes an area where the operator of the device 10 is typically located in front of the device 10 facing the control panel 72 and/or laptop 74.

Thereafter, in block 140, the processor determines whether a pre-stored image of the registered operator, such as an image stored on a remote server that was obtained during registration of the registered operator, matches the image captured in block 138. Typically, for face recognition the people in the 60 image(s) captured in block 138 perform image processing, such as image processing performed on a remote server. After the human face is recognized, the human facial features obtained from the captured image are compared with the previously stored facial features associated with the registered operator. Such a comparison can be performed, for example, on a remote server or device 10.

The results of the comparison are determined or accepted by the processor of the device 10. Thus, the processor of the device 10 is configured with the ability to determine whether the pre-stored image of the registered operator matches the image captured during execution of block 138.

If the processor determines in block 140 that the compared images do not match, the processor executes block 142 shown in FIG. 12. At least in the first and second embodiments, block 142 is identical to block 126 (Fig. 11). After execution of block 142, in block 144, the processor determines whether the registered operator's identity has been verified by telephone call in block 142.

If the processor determines in block 144 that the registered operator's identity has been verified by phone call, then the processor returns to block 138 to re-capture additional images of the workplace in a manner described hereinabove.

If, in block 144, the processor determines that the registered operator's identity has not been verified by phone call, the processor executes block 146. At least in the first and second embodiments, block 146 is identical to block 130 (Fig. 11).

Although method 136 shows a continuous (i.e., infinite) loop in which the processor determines in block 140 that the stored and captured images do not match, and determines in block 144 that the registered operator's identity has been verified, typically the processor will proceed to block 146 if there is a negative result of matching the stored and captured images within a specified limited number of attempts.

In some embodiments, blocks 142 and 144 are omitted and the method proceeds directly to block 146 if the processor determines in block 140 that the stored and captured images do not match.

After block 146 has been executed, the processor completes method 114 (FIG. 10). Completing the method 114 may include, for example, placing the device 10 or selected items and/or

From the means in device 10 to standby mode.

If the processor determines in block 140 that the stored images associated with the registered operator and the images captured in block 138 are the same, then block 148 is executed. Typically, in block 148 the processor stores in memory an instruction, such as a registration token, that the registered operator's image has been verified.

Thereafter, the process returns to method 114 after block 134 of FIG. 10.

Referring again to FIG. 10, at block 150, the processor verifies the biometric data of the registered operator of the device 10. Typically, the biometric data to be verified is in addition to any biometric information that was or could be obtained from a camera-captured image of the registered operator.

Referring to fig. 13, 152 generally shows an illustrative method of controlling the processor to perform the steps in block 150 (FIG. 10). Execution of method 152 begins at block 154, in which the processor measures the biometric data of the registered operator. At least in the first and second embodiments, in block 154, the processor prompts the operator of the device 10 to place his finger(s) and/or palm in the window 38 of the fingerprint reader 36 (FIGS. 1 and 2); scans the fingerprint(s) of the person who did it; and stores the scanned fingerprint(s) in memory. In some embodiments, the device 10 is also configured to capture images of a person placing their finger(s) and/or palm on the fingerprint reader 36 and to transmit such images to a remote server for further verification. in some embodiments, performing block 154 includes transmitting the scanned fingerprint(s) to a remote server.

In block 156, the processor determines whether pre-stored biometric data (eg, a scanned fingerprint) of the registered operator, such as biometric data stored on a remote server that was previously obtained during registration of the registered operator, matches the biometric data measured in block 156 154. Any suitable comparison technology can be implemented in the device 10 and/or the remote server, so that the processor of the device 10 is configured to determine or receive the result of a determination indicating whether the pre-stored biometric data of the registered operator matches the biometric data obtained by executing block 154. 60 If the processor determines in block 156 that the compared biometrics do not match, then the processor executes block 158 shown in Figure 13. At least in the first and second embodiments, block 158 is identical to block 126 (Fig. 11) and block 142 (Fig. 12). After execution of block 158, in block 160 percent esor determines whether the person of the registered operator passed the verification by phone call in block 158.

If the processor determines in block 160 that the registered operator's identity has been verified by phone call, then the processor returns to block 154 to re-measure the registered operator's biometrics in the manner described earlier in this document.

If the processor determines in block 160 that the registered operator's identity has not been verified by phone call, then the processor executes block 162. At least in the first and second embodiments, block 162 is identical to block 130 (FIG. 11) and block 146 (FIG. 12). .

Although method 152 shows a continuous (i.e., infinite) loop in which the processor determines at block 156 that the stored and measured biometrics do not match, and determines at block 160 that the registered operator's identity has been verified, typically the processor will proceed to block 162 if the stored and measured biometric data match is negative within a specified limited number of attempts.

In some embodiments, blocks 158 and 160 are omitted and the method proceeds directly to block 162 if the processor determines in block 156 that the stored and measured biometric data do not match.

After block 162 has been executed, the processor completes method 114 (FIG. 10). Completing the method 114 may include, for example, placing the device 10 or selected elements and/or means in the device 10 into standby mode.

If the processor determines in block 156 that the stored biometric data associated with the registered operator and the biometric data measured in block 154 match, then block 164 is executed. Typically, in block 164 the processor stores in memory an indication, such as an enrollment token, that the registered operator's biometrics have been verified. Thereafter, the process returns to method 114 after block 150 of FIG. 10.

Referring again to FIG. 10, in block 166, the processor provides access to elements of device 10. In at least the first and second embodiments, providing access to elements

The device 10 includes the permission to use means 42 for reading the passport and means 54 for printing, such as, for example, by switching at least means 42 for reading the passport and means 54 for printing from their standby modes to their working modes, respectively.

After that, in block 168, the processor of the device 10 performs proximity monitoring and an image of the registered operator. At least in the first and second embodiments, the processor of the device 10 is made with the possibility of periodic or continuous monitoring of the output signal from the proximity sensor 78. If at any time the proximity sensor 78 indicates that the registered operator is not in the vicinity of the device 10 or the image of the registered operator cannot be captured by the camera of the device 10, then the device 10 is made with the possibility of return, including immediate return, means for authentication, in particular, means 42 for reading the passport and means 54 for printing, in their respective standby modes. In some embodiments, the processor initiates a telephone call to the registered operator's mobile phone before returning the authentication means to their respective standby modes. In some embodiments, failure to save the indication of the presence of the registered operator and/or the telephone contact with the registered operator will result in the transfer of data currently stored in the memory of the device 10 to a remote server and/or its deletion from the memory device 10. In some embodiments, failure to maintain an indication of the presence of a registered operator and/or phone contact with a registered operator, failure to properly disable elements of the device 10, will result in automatic self-removal of the selected hardware(s) and/or software - hardware component(s) of the device 10.

In some embodiments, the processor of the device 10 maintains periodic or continuous communication with a remote server, which may be an encrypted communication. In such embodiments, the processor may delete the currently stored data if communication between the device 10 and the remote server is lost. Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, the processor activates self-healing of the hardware and/or software of the device 10 upon loss of communication between the device 10 and the remote server.

In block 170, the processor detects, at any time, the closure of the portable housing 12.

At least in the first and second embodiments, the output of the sensor 14 (Figs. 1 and 2) is connected to the processor so that the processor is configured to monitor or receive the output signal of the sensor 14 indicating the closure of the portable housing 12, otherwise.

After detecting the closure of the portable housing 12, in block 172 the processor denies access to the elements of the device 10. The description of block 130 (FIG. 11), block 146 (FIG. 12), and block 162 (FIG. 13) presented above in this document , can be applied to block 172 of FIG. 10.

Still referring to FIG. 10, when block 172 has been performed, the processor terminates method 114.

For simplicity of description, the method 114 described above in this document has a specific order of execution of the various steps of the method 114. However, in variants, the steps of the method 114 may be executed in different orders, including simultaneously, as, for example, by multitasking processors. For example, blocks 118, 134 and 150 may be performed in an order different from that shown in FIG. 10. In some embodiments, the attempt to verify the image of the registered operator is made, for example, before the attempt to verify the proximity of the registered operator. In variants, one or more blocks 118, 134 and 150 may be omitted. Additionally or alternatively, the device 10 may be configured to record audio data using a microphone 40 as a means of authentication; performing voice recognition in the device 10 or running voice recognition algorithms on a remote server; performing a comparison in the device 10 or activating a comparison on a remote server between the stored voice signature associated with the registered operator and the audio data recorded in the device or the result of voice recognition; and verification of the registered operator, for example, using such audio means. Despite the fact that in fig. 10 execution of blocks 170 and 172 is shown after execution of blocks 166 and 168, in general, blocks 170 and 172 may be executed at any time, including in response to, for example, an asynchronous detection of the closure of the portable housing 12. In some embodiments implementation, the device 10 and/or the system formed by the device 10 and the remote server is made with the possibility of parallel execution of the methods and steps described in this document.

Thus, a method of operation of a portable authentication device is provided, comprising: (a) determining whether a registered operator of the portable device has been verified

From the device for authentication; and (B) providing access to the authentication facility in the portable authentication device if the registered operator is verified.

Additional features and implementation options

According to additional embodiments, the security feature described herein is a pattern that represents a code selected from the group consisting of special characters, a series of alphanumeric characters, and combinations thereof. Alternatively, the security feature described herein is a 1-dimensional barcode, a multi-level 1-dimensional barcode, a 2-dimensional barcode (such as a Raimaiii code or OB code), or a 3-dimensional barcode -code. Such a code may contain additional or duplicate information in coded form so that it cannot generally be read or understood without a cipher or procedure for decoding the coded information. If the security feature described in this document is a pattern that represents a code, said pattern is preferably invisible to the naked eye.

In some embodiments, the physical property of the security feature described herein consists of an optical property. The optical properties of the security feature described in this document include any spectrally selective return of light (electromagnetic radiation) of a predetermined color (of a predetermined wavelength) from an illuminated object located in the visible (from 400 to 700 nm) , infrared (from 700 to 10000 nm, and preferably from 700 to 2500 nm) or UV range (less than 400 nm) of the electromagnetic spectrum (that is, in the entire wavelength range, preferably from 200 to 2500 nm). Preferably, the optical property is selected from the group consisting of intensities of reflected light, wavelengths of reflection, optically variable properties, intensities of absorbed IR light, wavelengths of absorption of IR radiation, intensities of emitted light, wavelengths of radiation, polarizations of light, and combinations thereof. In addition, the optical properties of the security feature described herein may preferably be selected from the group consisting of optically variable characteristics, IR absorption characteristics, emission characteristics, light polarization characteristics, and combinations thereof.

Optically variable elements are known from the field of protective printing. Optically variable elements (also known in the prior art as goniochromatic elements or color-changing elements) exhibit color that depends on the viewing angle or the angle of incidence, and are used to protect protected products from counterfeiting and/or illegal reproduction using publicly available equipment , capable of scanning, printing and copying color. Optically variable characteristic conveys different color perception at different viewing angles. "Different color perception" means that the element shows a difference in at least one parameter of the SIEGAV system (1976), preferably shows a different value of "a", a different value of "I" or a different value of "p", or it manifests two or three other values selected from the values "a", "I" and "p" at different viewing angles. In contrast to optically variable features that show different colors or color perception when the viewing angle changes, constant color features consist of features that do not show a change in color or color perception when the viewing angle changes. Typical examples of optically variable security features consist of optically variable patterns, such as, for example, cholesteric liquid crystal polymer coating, or may consist of a printed pattern made with optically variable inks, wherein said optically variable inks contain optically variable pigments, such as, for example , thin film interference pigments, interference coated pigments, cholesteric liquid crystal pigments and their mixtures.

Thin-film interference pigments exhibiting optically variable characteristics are known to those skilled in the art and disclosed in 05 4,705,300; 05 4,705,356; 5 4,721,271;

OB 5,084,351; 05 5,214,530; 05 5,281,480; 05 5,383,9955 05 5,569,535, 05 5,571,624 and in the documents related to them.

Liquid crystals in the cholesteric phase exhibit molecular order in the form of a spiral superstructure perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of its molecules. The spiral superstructure is at the initial stage of modulation with a periodic index of refraction in the liquid crystal material, which, in turn, leads to the selective transmission/reflection of certain wavelengths of light (interference light filter effect).

Cholesteric liquid crystal polymers can be produced by subjecting one or more cross-linking agents (nematic compounds) to a chiral phase for alignment and orientation. In particular, the pitch (i.e., the distance it takes to complete a full 360 rotation of the helical arrangement") can be adjusted by changing selected factors, including temperature and solvent concentration, by changing the nature of the chiral component(s) and the ratio of nematic to chiral compounds. Cross-stitching in action

The UV radiation fixes the step in a predetermined state of curing to fix the desired spiral shape, so that the color of the resulting cholesteric liquid crystal materials is no longer dependent on external factors such as temperature.

After that, the cholesteric liquid crystal materials can be given the form of cholesteric liquid crystal pigments by grinding the polymer to particles of the desired size. Examples of coatings, films and pigments made from cholesteric liquid crystal materials, as well as their preparation, are disclosed in 05 5,211,877; 05 5,362,315; 05 6,423,246; ER 1 213 338 AT! EP 1046692 JSC and EP 0 601 483 JSC, the relevant disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.

It should be noted that the optically variable characteristics of the optically variable protective features described in this document are not limited to the visible range of the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. For example, optically variable security features may exhibit, at least under one viewing angle, a different selective reflection width position and/or a different CIE (1976) color index parameter in the visible, IR (infrared) or UV (ultraviolet) ranges and/or or color change properties from the visible range to the IR range, or from the UV range to the visible range, or from the UV range to the IR range.

Machine authentication of an optically variable security feature may be performed by illuminating said optically variable security feature such that a first beam of light reflected and/or refracted by the security feature at a first viewing angle and a second light beam reflected and refracted by the security feature at a second viewing angle are formed. inspection, whereby the first and second light beams have different spectral compositions due to the optically variable protective feature, the capture of the first light beam and the second reflected and/or refracted light beam, and the comparison of the two reflected and/or refracted light beams/colors perceived with two different colors. Examples of such detectors can be found in UMO 2004/097716 A1,

UMO 20121001077 A1 and UMO 2013/045082 A1.

In general, a security feature detector, in accordance with at least some embodiments of the present invention, may be implemented in accordance with or similar to the following description. First, UMO 2004/097716 JSC discloses a suitable security feature detector for detecting the physical property of an optically variable security feature.

From the specified light sources to the specified protective sign.

MO 2012/001077 A1 discloses a corresponding security feature detector designed to detect the physical property of an optically variable security feature. In UMO 2012/001077 A! disclosed device containing a) a light source designed to illuminate an optically variable security feature so as to form a first beam of light reflected by the security feature at the first viewing angle and a second light beam reflected by the security feature at the second viewing angle, while the first and second beams of light have different spectral compositions as a result of optically variable labeling; B) a prism that refracts said second beam of reflected light so as to redirect said second beam of reflected light; c) an optical sensor that simultaneously captures the first beam of light and the second beam of reflected light; and 4) a processing unit that determines the optical properties of the specified optically variable security feature based on the specified first beam of light and the second beam of reflected light.

Protective features based on radiation characteristics are known in the art as luminescent materials. Luminescent materials are widely used as marking materials in security-related applications. Luminescent materials can be inorganic (inorganic crystalline bases or glasses doped with luminescent ions), organic and organometallic substances (complexes of luminescent ion(s) with organic ligand(s)). Luminescent materials can absorb some types of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum, i.e., UV, visible, and infrared, affecting them and then emitting at least part of this absorbed energy as electromagnetic radiation. Luminescent materials are detected by exposure to a certain wavelength of light and analysis of the emitted light. because down-conversion fluorescent materials absorb electromagnetic radiation at a higher frequency (shorter wavelength) and at least partially re-emit it at a lower frequency (longer wavelength). Upconversion fluorescent materials absorb electromagnetic radiation at a lower frequency and at least partially re-emit a portion of it at a higher frequency. Light emission of luminescent materials is the result of disturbed states of atoms or molecules. Luminescent materials can be divided into: (i) phosphorescent materials, in which emission with a time delay can be observed after the removal of the excitation radiation (usually with a decay time from about more than 1 µs to about 100 s), and (i) fluorescent materials, in which, after a disturbance, instantaneous emission can be observed (usually with a decay time of less than 1 µs). Both fluorescent and phosphorescent compounds are suitable for the implementation of a machine-readable security feature. In the case of phosphorescent compounds, measurement of attenuation characteristics can also be performed and used as a machine-readable feature.

Security feature detectors designed to detect a physical property of a luminescent security feature may include a light source for illuminating the luminescent security feature with excitation light and a light sensor (also referred to in the art as a photodetector) to measure the luminescence intensity compared to the background radiation intensity. A phase detector can be used to suppress background signals. Depending on the part of the spectrum used to detect the luminescent material, the light source may be an incandescent lamp with wavelengths, typically from about 400 nm to about 2500 nm, used with mechanical or optoelectronic devices to deliver pulses of light, or a scintillating lamp ( such as a high-pressure xenon flash lamp), or a laser or light-emitting diode (LED) emitting in the UV, visible, or IR region, typically for wavelengths from about 250 nm to about 1000 nm. The light source can be powered by an excitation current (for example, for an LED) or an excitation voltage (for example, for a discharge lamp). Light sensors or photodetectors can be, for example, photodiodes (individual or in matrices), circuits of phototransistors or photoresistors, linear KMON or PZD sensors.

Protective features containing materials that absorb infrared (IR) radiation are widely known and used in security applications. They are based on the absorption of electromagnetic radiation with respect to electron hopping in the spectral range from about 700 nm to about 2500 nm, as defined above herein. In the field of machine authentication of secure documents, a range of 700 nm to 1500 nm is preferred, with a range of 800 nm to 1000 nm being particularly preferred. For example, features that absorb IR radiation have been implemented in banknotes for use by automatic currency processing equipment, for banking and commercial applications (ATMs, vending machines, etc.) to recognize a specific currency bill, and for verification of its authenticity, in particular, in order to distinguish it from reproductions made on color copiers. IR-absorbing materials include inorganic materials, glasses containing significant amounts of IR-absorbing atoms or ions, or objects that exhibit IR absorption as a side effect. IR-absorbing organic compounds and IR-absorbing organometallic compounds (complexes of cation(s) with organic ligand(s) in which a single cation and/or a single ligand, or both together, have properties absorption of IR radiation). Typical examples of IR-absorbing compounds include, but are not limited to, carbon black, quinone diammonium salts or aminium salts, polymethines (e.g., cyanine, squarenes, croconaiines), phthalocyanine- or naphthalocyanine-type compounds (IR-absorbing pi- systems), dithiolenes, quaternarylenediimides, salts (such as, for example, fluorides, chlorides, bromides, iodides, nitrates, nitrites, sulfites, sulfates, phosphates, carbonates, borates, benzoates, acetates, chromates, hexaborides, molybdates, manganates, ferrates, organosulfates, organosulfonates, organophosphonates, organophosphates and phosphotungstates) metals (such as, for example, transition metals or lanthanides), metal oxides (such as, for example, indium and tin oxide, antimony-tin oxides in the form of nanoparticles, doped tin oxide ( IM), a common property of the crystal 5pO»y), metal nitrides. Compounds that absorb IR radiation, containing a compound of a transition element and the absorption of infrared radiation of which is a consequence of electronic transitions in the d-shell of atoms or ions of the transition element, such as those described in UMO 2007/060133 A2, can also be used for this invention. for Machine authentication of security features containing one or more compounds that absorb IR radiation can be performed using an IR authentication device containing one or more IR radiation sources, one or more infrared radiation detectors, an analog-to-digital converter and processor.

A security feature containing one or more compounds that absorb IR radiation is illuminated by one or more sources of IR radiation, simultaneously or sequentially, one or more infrared detectors detect a signal corresponding to the intensity of light reflected by said security feature, the analog-to-digital converter converts the specified signal into information in digital form, which is compared by the processor with the reference value stored in the database. After that, the IR authentication device emits a positive signal (which means that the security feature is real) or a negative signal (which means that the security feature is fake). If necessary, the device for IR authentication may contain one or more light-scattering elements (like a condenser), one or more lens inserts (like focusing or collimating lenses), one or more reflective elements (like mirrors, especially translucent mirrors), one or more light-dispersive or light-refracting elements (like a prism, hologram or raster) and one or more optical filters. In some embodiments, the IR light source illuminates a security feature comprising one or more absorbing compounds.

IR radiation, at a given angle through a diffuser or condenser, and an IR radiation detector receives the reflected light through a collimating lens insert at the same angle.

An optional prism, hologram, or raster may be located between the IR radiation source and the security feature to illuminate said security feature with monochrome radiation, or between said security feature and said detector to emit monochrome reflected light onto said detector.

In another arrangement (which is described in UMO 00/070536 At) IR light is emitted through a focusing lens insert and deflected onto a protective feature by means of a translucent mirror, while the direction of illumination is essentially perpendicular to said protective feature.

Light reflected from the security device is collimated in a direction that is also substantially perpendicular to said security feature by a second lens insert and directed toward the prism or hologram to generate the spectrum. Finally,

The generated spectrum is focused using a third lens insert in the direction of the detector assembly, which contains a plurality of IR radiation detectors, each of which is sensitive to a different and limited range of the IR region of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum.

Depending on the used area of the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, the source

IR radiation may include one or more IR LEDs (in particular, sSaA and AIsSadA), one or more semiconductor laser diodes (in particular, Ipsadb5R), one or more incandescent lamps (similar to tungsten lamps), one or more halogen lamps, one or more heat emitters (nichrome), one or more xenon lamps or their combination. For machine authentication of a security feature containing one or more compounds that absorb IR radiation, the preferred sources of IR radiation are SVD sadhd apa AISaA, as well as Ipsadz5R laser diodes. The IR detector is selected from the group consisting of photomultipliers, thermal detectors, and quantum detectors. Quantum detectors are preferred for machine authentication of IR-absorbing compounds.

This category includes photovoltaic detectors similar to BE (from 800 to 1800 nm) or

IPSA (from 700 to 1700 nm), photoresistor detectors similar to RB5 (from 1000 to 3600 nm) or

РББе (from 1500 to 5800 nm) and P33 and KMON sensors (from 400 to 1000 nm). Especially preferred are Se or IpsA detectors which are sensitive to a narrow range of IR light (ie, "wavelength sensitive" detectors) and can be placed as a matrix, thereby producing a spectrum of the intensity of the reflected light as a function of wavelength. The advantage of P33 and KMON sensors is that they can be provided as linear sensors or as two-dimensional sensors, while these two-dimensional sensors are made with the ability to issue an image of a security feature containing one or more compounds that absorb IR radiation. In any case, the response given by the detector, which is the intensity of reflected light in one or more wavelengths after single-point illumination or illumination of the entire image of said security feature, is compared to a reference value to give a positive or negative signal.

A security feature containing one or more IR-absorbing compounds may consist of a pattern, image, logo, text, number or code (such as a barcode or OK code). The protective feature can be made of a coating composition containing one or more compounds that absorb IR radiation, or it can be made of a first part that contains one or more compounds that absorb IR radiation and a second part that contains one or more compounds that absorb in a different region of the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation (for example, UV or visible). If the specified second part contains compounds that absorb in the visible region of the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, then the concept of the protective feature may be that the image is constructed from the first and second parts, while both parts are made of covering compositions that match in color in the visible spectrum Thus, both parts are essentially indistinct to the human eye. The specified first and second parts, for example, can be located next to each other, overlap each other, or they can be located at a distance. In this case, the authentication device may contain one or more sources emitting radiation in the visible part of the spectrum (for example, a red and/or green LED) and one or more sources emitting radiation in the IR part of the spectrum (for example, one or more SVD O5A5 with selective wavelengths), the detector, which is a KMON- or

CCD sensor. If necessary, the authentication device can be supplemented with sources

UV radiation (such as UV SVD) as in 05 2005/0139681. After that, the specified security feature is sequentially illuminated with one or more sources of visible radiation, one or more sources of IR radiation, and one or more optional sources of UV radiation, and the KMON or PZD sensor captures the image of the security feature at each illumination . This provides a set of images that can be used individually or in combination in any way, with individual images or combined images subsequently compared to reference images stored in a database.

Thus, it seems possible to achieve a particularly high quality of the output positive or negative signal. For example, this is described in UMO 01/024106 A1, in which three different light sources (UV, visible, IR) are used to illuminate, in a sequential manner, a two-dimensional barcode printed with three different coating compositions, each of which contains compounds that perform absorption in each of the three areas. A 2D barcode image corresponding to each of the three areas is captured sequentially by a sensor (such as a P33 or KMON sensor) and these images are subsequently combined to generate a multidimensional barcode containing information relating to each of the three regions As

Alternatively, a special sensor can be designed with filters that are sensitive, at the raster level, to each of the three regions, so that a two-dimensional barcode can be illuminated essentially simultaneously by three different light sources, and a multi-dimensional barcode can be generated with one lighting.

Examples of protective features based on light polarization characteristics include cholesteric liquid crystal materials. As stated above in this document, liquid crystals in the cholesteric phase exhibit molecular order in the form of a spiral superstructure perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of its molecules. This specific arrangement of the spiral molecular arrangement leads to cholesteric liquid crystal materials exhibiting the property of scattering unpolarized incident light in components with different polarizations, that is, reflected light that is circularly polarized to the left or right, depending on the direction of rotation of the spirals. Since the human eye cannot detect the polarization state of the light incident on it, such as the circular polarization effect of cholesteric liquid crystal materials, the difference in chirality can be detected by machine testing by measuring the polarization of light reflected from the cholesteric liquid crystal material.

Security feature detectors designed to detect controllability of a security feature based on cholesteric liquid crystal material may contain one or more light sources and one or more receivers containing one or more polarization-selective elements. One or more light sources may be selected from natural light, incandescent light, laser diodes, light emitting diodes, and all types of light sources having color filters. One or more polarization-selective elements can be passive means, such as, for example, polarization filters, that is, circular polarization filters on the left or right, or their adjacent arrangement. This provides the ability to determine the direction of rotation of the spiral pitch of the cholesteric liquid crystal material by determining the state of polarization of the light reflected by the specified material. Alternatively, authentication of a security feature based on cholesteric liquid crystal material can be performed using circularly polarized light from at least one source of polarized light.

Alternatively, authentication of a security feature based on cholesteric 60 liquid crystal material can be performed using an electro-optic means for authentication, wherein said means comprises at least one photocell in combination with a circularly polarized filter and/or a circularly polarized light source, or comprises an electro-optical camera, such as a linear array of CCD sensors, a 2D array of CCD image sensors, a linear array of CMON image sensors, or a 2D array of CMON sensors, in combination with a circular polarization filter and/or a light source polarized circle

If necessary, the circular polarization filter or circularly polarized light source described above in this document can be combined with color filters to select a specific spectral region and to improve the contrast ratio between the light reflected from the liquid crystal material and the light reflected from background. Examples of such detectors can be found in 05 6,570,648 and MO 2009/121605 A1.

According to additional embodiments, the physical property of the security feature described herein consists of a combination of various optical properties, such as, for example, optically variable properties and emission properties, as well as optically variable properties and light polarization properties. Typical examples of security features based on optically variable properties and polarization properties of light consist of security features based on cholesteric liquid crystal materials described above in this document.

According to additional variants of implementation, the physical property of the security feature described in this document consists of magnetic properties. Magnetic materials are widely used as marking materials in security-related applications to provide a protected product with an additional, hidden, protective element that can be easily detected by electronic means. Magnetic compounds exhibit specific magnetic properties of the ferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic type that can be detected and include permanent magnetic compounds (hard magnetic compounds having a coercivity of He » 1000 A/m) and magnetized compounds (soft magnetic compounds having coercivity Ne x 1000

A/m, in accordance with the standard IES6O0404-1 (2000)). Typical examples of magnetic compounds include iron, nickel, cobalt, manganese and its magnetic alloys, carbonyl iron, chromium dioxide

StO", magnetic iron oxides (for example, BegOz, EezOl), magnetic ferrites, M(P)Res(PI2gOx and hexaferrites M()Res(P)12Och9, magnetic garnets M(P)zRe(PI)5Och2 (such as iron - yttrium garnet

Zo UzEevzo!zg) and their magnetic isostructural substitution products and particles with permanent magnetization (for example, SoBegO4). Magnetic materials are largely characterized by the dependence of their magnetic flux density B on the applied external magnetic field H. With a weak magnetic field H, the magnetic flux density B is roughly proportional to H, i.e. B: NN (n is relative magnetic permeability). The nonlinear behavior of the magnetization function B (H) is generally observed at strong magnetic fields H, where | eventually becomes equal to unity, that is, after magnetic saturation. For many magnetic materials, when the strength of the magnetic field H decreases from the saturation value to zero, B remains at some fixed value Vg, which is called the residual magnetization. To return B back to zero, a negative magnetic field Ne, called magnetic coercivity, must be applied to the material. This behavior is called magnetic hysteresis, and the B (H) curve or the magnetization characteristics of such a material is called the magnetic hysteresis curve.

Authentication of security features containing one or more magnetic materials can be performed using a means for magnetic detection (magnetic detector) containing one or more magnetic sensors, one or more analog-to-digital converters and a processor. If necessary, the means for magnetic detection may contain one or more magnetization units in the form of permanent magnets and/or electromagnets, as well as one or more amplifiers. One or more magnetic sensors and optional one or more magnetizing units can be mounted to move on one or more

BO linear guides or one or more cylinders, and equipped with one or more electric stepper motors (linear or circular). Alternatively, said one or more magnetic sensors and said one or more optional magnetizing units may be provided in multiple groups or arrays, each group or array having its own linear guide or cylinder, and its own stepper motor (linear or circular). , and it is also made with the possibility of independent movement. After that, the protected article with a security feature containing one or more magnetic materials can be transferred to the magnetic detection unit through the document direction unit. One or more magnetic sensors and one or more optional magnetizing units contained in said magnetic detection unit move back and forth when mounted on one or more linear guides, or circularly when mounted on one or more cylinders, together or in the form of independent groups or matrices, in the selected sequence and at the necessary speed to detect the information contained in the specified security feature, as changes in voltage, resistance or current, depending on the type of magnetic sensors used. After that, the detected information is sent, after optional amplification and digital conversion, to the processor, where it is compared with the reference or limit values contained in the database. After that, a positive or negative signal is issued.

If the security feature contains one or more highly coercive materials (which have residual magnetization), said one or more magnetic sensors measure the intensity of said residual magnetization. If the security feature contains one or more low-coercivity materials (which have no measurable residual magnetization and must be magnetized by an external magnetic field H), one or more magnetic sensors can measure the change in the magnetic field H due to the magnetic permeability of one or more low coercivity materials. The external magnetic field can be provided by one or more permanent magnets and/or one or more electromagnets. Preferably, one or more permanent magnets and/or one or more electromagnets are included in one or more magnetic sensors.

In general, a magnetic sensor is a sensor that is used to detect a magnetic field. Depending on the magnetic material and the specific implementation of the means for magnetic detection, different types of magnetic sensors can be used. For example, known inductive sensors (containing coils), magnetometric sensors (containing a thin ferromagnetic core on which two coils are wound, one of which is designed for excitation and the other for detection), magnetoresistive sensors that show an increase in resistance depending on the applied of a magnetic field, sensors on the Hall effect, in which a voltage depending on the applied magnetic field is generated, and magneto-optical sensors. Magnetoresistive sensors suitable for machine detection of magnetic compounds include conventional magnetoresistive sensors, anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) sensors, and giant magnetoresistance (GMR) sensors. Typically, a signal generated by passing a security feature containing one or more magnetic materials through one or more magnetic sensors and

Ko) by one or more optional magnetization blocks, is weak; thus, an amplification scheme is required. Preferably, and in order to limit the noise induced by the amplification circuit and correspondingly reduce the signal-to-noise ratio, each of the one or more magnetic sensors is assigned its own amplification circuit, or, if the one or more magnetic sensors are provided in the form of a group or matrix, an amplification circuit connected to the specified group or matrix.

One or more magnetic materials may be incorporated into the coating to be printed or directly applied to the protected article, or by printing or applying a thread, strip, or film to be applied or incorporated into the protected article. The coating composition can be applied continuously, providing an even area that is easy to detect, or only in certain areas, for example in the form of a code, image, logo, text or pattern. If the coating composition is printed as text, the text can be read using magnetic sensors of a specific type, called magnetic ink character recognition sensors (MCRs), as specified in 05 2009/152 356 A1.

In addition to one or more magnetic materials, the specified composition of the coating may contain dyes or pigments capable of absorbing radiation in the UV, visible or IR region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The protective feature can be made entirely of a coating composition containing one or more magnetic materials, or of a first part that contains said one or more magnetic materials and a second part that does not contain a magnetic material. The security feature can be created in such a way that the specified first and second parts form an image, while both parts are made of coating compositions that match in color in the visible region of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Thus, both parts may be substantially indiscernible to the human eye, with the first part containing one or more magnetic materials that can only be detected by means of magnetic detection as described hereinabove. The specified first and second parts can be located adjacent to each other, overlap each other or be at a distance.

Preferably, a protective feature containing one or more magnetic materials can be made of a plurality of magnetic regions having different magnetic properties, which are adjacent to each other, overlap each other, or have gaps between them. For example, in 5 2013/082105 A1, a method of checking securities with a protective element having a plurality of magnetic areas, which include at least one high-coercivity magnetic area with a high-coercivity magnetic material, one low-coercivity magnetic area with a low-coercivity magnetic material and, if necessary, a combined magnetic region that contains both high-coercivity magnetic material and low-coercivity magnetic material. All three areas can be clearly identified based on their specific magnetic influence.

According to additional variants of implementation, the physical property of the security feature described in this document consists of a combination of optical properties, in particular, optically variable properties and magnetic properties. Typical examples of protective features based on optically variable magnetic properties include, without limitation, magnetic thin film interference materials, coated magnetic pigments, and magnetic cholesteric liquid crystal materials. Magnetic thin-film interference materials, in particular, particles of magnetic thin-film interference pigment, which are known to specialists in this field of technology and disclosed, for example, in 05 4,838,648; UMO 2002/073250 A2; ER 0 686 675 81; MO 2003/000801 A2; 05 6,838,166; UHO 2007/131833 A1; EP 2 402 401 JSC, as well as in the documents cited therein. Typical examples of magnetic thin-film interference pigment particles include pigment particles having a Fabry-Perot multilayer structure of five layers and/or pigment particles having a Fabry-Perot multilayer structure of six layers and Mabo pigment particles having a Fabry-Perot multilayer structure - A feather of seven layers.

Five-layer Fabry-Perot multilayer structures consist of absorber/dielectric/reflector/dielectric/absorber multilayer structures in which the reflector and/or absorber is also a magnetic layer. The six-layer Fabry-Perot multilayer structures consist of absorber/dielectric/reflector/magnetic layer/dielectric/absorber multilayer structures.

The seven-layer Fabry-Perot multilayer structures consist of absorber/dielectric/reflector/magnetic layer/reflector/dielectric/absorber multilayer structures.

Magnetic cholesteric liquid crystal pigment particles exhibiting optically variable characteristics include, without limitation, magnetic monolayer cholesteric liquid crystal pigment particles and magnetic multilayer cholesteric liquid crystal pigment particles. Such pigment particles are revealed, for example, in M/O

From 2006/063926 A1; 05 6,582,781 and 05 6,531,221. MO 2006/063926 A1 describes monolayers and pigment particles obtained from them with pronounced gloss and color change properties with additional special properties such as magnetization. The described monolayers and pigment particles obtained from them by grinding said monolayers include a three-dimensional cross-linked cholesteric liquid crystal mixture and magnetic nanoparticles. In О5 6,582,781 and 05 6,410,130, particles of cholesteric multilayer pigment of lamellar shape are described, which contain the sequence A1/B/A2, where A! and A2 can be identical or different, and each of which contains at least one cholesteric layer, and B is an intermediate layer that absorbs all or part of the world that is passed through layers A! and A, imparts magnetic properties to the specified intermediate layer. In 05 6,531,221, lamellar cholesteric multilayer pigment particles are described, which contain the sequence A/B and, if necessary, C, where A and C are absorbent layers containing pigment particles imparting magnetic properties, and B is a cholesteric layer.

According to additional variants of implementation, the physical property of the security features described in this document consists of conductivity properties. A security feature containing one or more conductive materials can be detected by simple detection means, such as circuits with electrodes in contact with said security feature. Preferably, said detection means include non-contact electronic means, such as electromagnetic or capacitive sensors. Capacitive sensors use an electric field that oscillates at a high frequency (typically 500 kHz to 1 MHz). Moving a capacitive sensor toward a protective feature containing one or more conductive materials changes the capacitance of the sensor, which in turn generates a current flow in the sensor. The electronic components of the sensor produce a calibrated voltage that is proportional to the magnitude of the current flow, thereby indicating the presence or absence of a protective feature containing one or more conductive materials. Inductive sensors use an oscillating magnetic field generated by passing alternating current through one or more coils. When said oscillating magnetic field interacts with a protective feature containing one or more conductive materials, an eddy current (also called an induced current) is produced, generating an oscillating magnetic field that opposes the oscillating field of the inductive sensor. In turn, this produces a current movement in the inductive sensor, with said current movement 60 being converted into a calibrated voltage by the sensor's electronic components, as previously described for a capacitive sensor. In the field of security, capacitive sensors are generally preferred because they are able to detect small conductive elements without interacting with the environment (substrate or surrounding hardware). For example, 05 5,650,729 describes a conductive strip detector comprising a capacitor defined by an elongate conductive element and a lateral conductive element. The monitoring circuit monitors changes in capacitance of the capacitor when a conductive strip that is substantially parallel to the element passes the capacitor and indicates when the change in capacitance is caused by the presence of the conductive strip.

The protective feature may contain, in addition to one or more conductive materials, one or more materials that respond to an induced electric current and/or an induced voltage, such as a luminescent material or an electrochromic material. In this case, one or more conductive materials contained in the security feature are detected indirectly, with the help of light emitted by the luminescent material or the color change of the electrochromic material.

Conductive materials can be metal such as aluminum, copper, nickel, iron, lead, zinc and tin, as well as their alloys, coated with a polymer substrate such as PET,

PVC or BOPP (biaxially oriented polyethylene film), in the form of thread (metallized or partially demetallized), strip, film or decal applied or embedded in the substrate of the protected article. In the simplest form, the metal wires can be processed directly inside the substrate (made of plastic such as BOPP, wood or cotton pulp). One or more conductive materials can also be embedded in the polymer matrix, as described in ShШ5 2014/291495. Said matrix contains one or more non-conductive, transparent or opaque thermoplastic polymers, such as PC (polycarbonate, specifically bisphenol A polycarbonate), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), TPE (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers), PE (polyethylene), PP (polypropylene), PI (polyimide), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), polystyrene, polyacrylates and methacrylates, vinyl ethers, ABS and their copolymers and/or mixtures.

One or more conductive materials embedded in the specified polymer matrix are, for example, metal nanoparticles, in particular, silver nanoparticles, pigments

From the surface treated with one or more conductive layers (described, for example, in 05 7,416,688), pigments containing a conductive core (described, for example, in EP 2,220,171 VI), which conduct mixed oxides similar to 2pO (zinc oxide), ITO (indium tin oxide) or ATO (antimony tin oxide), as well as carbon derivatives such as fullerenes, graphene and carbon nanotubes (in particular, the so-called BNT, which stands for multi-walled nanotubes, which are easier to produce and exhibit higher conductivity, than ONTs - single-walled nanotubes). Preferably, the basis of the surface pigments treated with one or more conductive layers are inexpensive core materials such as titanium oxide, synthetic or natural micas, other phyllosilicates, glasses, silicon dioxides or aluminum oxides, which are occupied by the conductive layer. Surface pigments treated with a conductive layer exhibiting high relative elongation, also called pop-up pigments, oriented in the direction of coating or printing, thereby improving the conductivity of the security feature, are preferred. Alternatively, highly conjugated polymers can be used as one or more conductive materials. They can provide the advantages of not needing a polymer matrix and being able to create transparent, flexible layers. Such highly conjugated polymers are described, for example, in

UMO 2013/135339 А?, UMO 2013/120590 A1, UMO 2013/159862 A1 and UMO 20131159863 AT.

Preferred highly conjugated polymers are polyaniline, polythiophene (and in particular PEDOT/PSC, obtained by copolymerization of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene with styrene sulfonate), polyfluorene, polypropylene vinylene, and polypyrrole. Particularly preferred is PEDOT/PSS, which exhibits good conductivity (close to that of ITO, indium oxide, and tin), high transparency, and good flexibility and mechanical resistance. Preferably, and for the above reasons, a security feature containing one or more conductive materials may contain one or more luminescent materials. One or more luminescent materials are selected from the group consisting of luminescent molecules (which are uniformly dissolved in the polymer matrix), luminescent pigments (which are dispersed in the polymer matrix), semiconductor quantum impurities (such as Saze, 2n5, 7n5e, Salpze, Sav, IpA5 , IP, Sazev), luminescent polymers (which are described in detail in 05 2014/291495) and pigments, the surface of which is treated with a luminescent layer. Alternatively and/or additionally, a security feature comprising one or more conductive materials may comprise one or more electrochromic materials.

One or more electrochromic materials can be selected from the group consisting of polymeric electrochromic materials, non-polymeric electrochromic materials, and their

From mixtures. A comprehensive list of electrochromic materials can be found in 05 8,243,356, which is included in this document by reference.

Although embodiments of the present invention have been described and illustrated, such embodiments should be considered as illustrative of the present invention only. The present invention may contain variants that are not described in detail or illustrated in this document. Thus, the implementation options described in this document should not be considered as limitations of this invention, which is set forth in accordance with the appended claims.
